The MODIS instrument on board NASA's Terra satellite captured this true-color image of Typhoon Sudal on April 14 at 1:55 UTC. At the time this image was taken, Sudal was located approximately 547 miles west-southwest of Iwo Jima and was packing sustained winds of 117 mph with gusts to 132 mph. Sudal was moving northeast at 16 mph, and this movement was expected to continue over the next few days as the storm continues to weaken.
